Question

Why do cells differ in shape & size

Answer 1

Answer:

cells differ in shape and size, so that they can carry out particular functions.

Answer 2

Cells have different shapes because they do different things. ... The shapes of cells have evolved to help them carry out their specific function in the body, so looking at a cell's shape can give clues about what it does. Neurons are cells in the brain and nervous system.

Cell size is limited by a cell's surface area to volume ratio. A smaller cell is more effective and transporting materials, including waste products, than a larger cell. Cells come in many different shapes. A cell's function is determined, in part, by its shape.
